# 经年 vs Buddhist Practice

The clearest difference is price: 经年 at Free against Buddhist Practice's $1.99. Buddhist Practice's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On rating, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

经年 is free to download; Buddhist Practice costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for 经年 against 5.0 for Buddhist Practice. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Buddhist Practice has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

经年 ships an update every 2 months, Buddhist Practice every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and July 7, 2026 respectively.
